> A number of contexts result in a less-than-meaningful message to log or console of simply `null`.  For instance, running `gfsh status locator` prints only `null`.
> This may be the result of exceptions being converted to exceptions of another type or to error results, but in the process losing important information by only passing `e.getMessage()` to the new type.  For instance, the above `gfsh status locator` is failing with a `java.lang.NumberFormatException: null`, but this exception is converted to `return ResultBuilder.createUserErrorResult(e.getMessage());`  In this case, `e.getMessage()` is `null`, where the more meaningful result is the type of exception.
> A fix to this will likely close GEODE-2569
